BOTTLE-FILLER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patient No. 325,929, datedSeptember 8, 1885.

Application tiled May 12, 1884., (No model.)

Y To all whom it may concern:

. conveniently and with uniformity; and it con sists in an eccentricspindle-valve combined with a receiver having numerous discharge tubesor nozzles, as hereinafter described and claimed.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part ofthis specifica-tion, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in both the figures.

Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of our irnproved filling apparatus,and Fig. 2 is an end view of the same.

The receiver A is of tubular form and of any required length, accordingto the number of discharge-nozzles required; and it is pro- 'vided withremovable heads c c and a supplypipe, a, having a coupling forconnection to a pipe from a barrel or other source of supply. At theunder side are the tubes or nozzles b, connected by apertures with theinterior of the receiver A.

B is the spindle-valve, hung within the receiver by eccentric journals dd, that pass through the heads c c, so that the valve when turned in onedirection closes over the apertures of nozzles b and rises therefromwhen given a partial turn in the reverse direction. The heads c havepacking-glands e e, covering the journals d, and the journal at one endeX- tends through the head and has a weighted handle, f, upon it. Toinsure tight closing,

the spindle B is fitted with disks g, of leather or other material, atthe points covering the outlets.

The filler being attached to a barrel and the liquid allowed to enterthe receiver A freely, the bottles or other receptacles are put in placebeneath, with the nozzles b enterlng them. The valve B is then opened,and the liquid will enter the bottles uniformly until When all thenozzles are not needed, they may be closed by plugs.

We are aware that a bottle-filler constructed to lill a number ofbottles at one time is not, broadly, new; and We are also aware that aspindle working in a tubular valve has been provided with a cam for`revolving said valve and causing a different part of the periphery ofthe valve to be presented to the seat at each closing, and therefore donot claim such inventions.

Having thus described our invention, We claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patenti l. In a bottle-filler, the combination, withthe tubular receiverA, provided with the supply-pipe/a and a series ofdischargenoz- .zles, b, of the cylindrical spindle-valve B, ec-

centrically pivoted in the said receiver, substantially as herein shownand described, whereby when the spindle is turned in one direction itcloses over the apertures of the discharge-nozzles and rises therefromwhen turned in the opposite direction, as set forth. 2. In abottle-liller, the combination, With the tubular receivenA, havingremovable heads c, and provided with the supply-pipe a and a series ofdischarge-nozzles, b, of the cylindrical spindle-valve B, provided withthe eccentric journals d, the handle f on one of the journals, and thepacking-disks g, substantially as herein shown and described.
